TraxDay, Zwartkops Raceway, 11 November 2012

Goodness, what a day yet again. Where to start!

05:30 Zwartkops Raceway, unhitch Fossa, everything unpacked and in their places and a hot cup of coffee by 06:00. Final checks at our leisure.

More participants arrive. It looks like a full house, especially the race cars.

Fossa on corner two

We did 36 laps with a best lap of 1:37.59. A slight but still a better time than our previous best. We also had our first spin where a courteous car left some oil on corner two.

Fossa entering corner eight

I drive as clever and as hard as I can. Chris “Roach” sits in the passenger seat with his legs crossed. It is almost freaky. Fossa is a truly phenomenal car. She has been driven on her limits for incredibly long times and she keeps on giving.

It is impossible to describe the feelings, emotions, sounds, smells, motions ………. If you want to experience it, climb into a race car. Entering our pit we could still smell the tires and it is almost impossible to touch them.

Thanks Fossa!
